Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
When you visit queralipova.com, we use various tracking technologies to help the site work properly and improve your experience. This policy explains what these technologies are, how we use them, and what choices you have.
We're pretty straightforward about this stuff. No hidden surprises or confusing jargon—just the facts about how we track your visit and why it matters.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit.
They don't contain personal information like your name or address by themselves. Instead, they store things like your preferences, whether you're logged in, or what pages you've looked at.
Most websites use them. They've been around since the mid-90s and remain one of the most reliable ways for websites to function properly.
How We Use These Technologies
At queralipova, we use cookies and similar tracking methods for several reasons. Some are absolutely necessary for the site to work—without them, you wouldn't be able to navigate between pages or access your account.
Others help us understand how people use our educational resources so we can make improvements. We also use some that remember your preferences, which saves you time on future visits.
What Information Gets Collected
The tracking technologies we use collect different types of information depending on their purpose. Here's what that typically includes:
- Your IP address and general location (usually just your city or region)
- Browser type and version you're using
- Device information—whether you're on mobile, tablet, or desktop
- Pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on them
- Links you click and forms you interact with
- Referring website that brought you to us
- Date and time of your visit
None of this information directly identifies you as an individual. We're looking at patterns and behaviors, not tracking specific people around the internet.
Third-Party Services
We work with a few external services that also use tracking technologies. These help us with analytics, content delivery, and understanding how people find our site.
These third parties have their own privacy policies, and they process data according to their terms. We choose partners carefully and only work with services that meet Australian privacy standards.
You can usually opt out of third-party tracking through your browser settings or by visiting the individual service's opt-out page.
How Long We Keep This Data
Data Retention Periods
Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. They're temporary by design.
Persistent cookies stick around longer—anywhere from a few days to a couple of years, depending on their purpose. Preference cookies might last a year so you don't have to reset your choices constantly. Analytics cookies typically expire after two years.
We review and delete old data regularly. There's no reason to keep tracking information indefinitely, so we don't.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Every modern browser gives you options for managing cookies and tracking technologies.
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will probably break parts of the website. Essential cookies need to function for the site to work properly. But you can definitely limit or block the non-essential ones if that's your preference.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting. We respect these signals, though they're gradually being phased out in favor of more sophisticated privacy controls.
Changes to This Policy
Technology evolves. Privacy standards change. When we update this policy, we'll post the new version here with an updated date at the top.
If we make significant changes to how we use tracking technologies, we'll let you know more prominently—probably through a notice on the homepage or via email if you're registered for our programs.
We're not going to sneak major changes past you. That's not how we operate.
